Product details
Overview
STM6825SWY6F from STMicroelectronics is a 5-pin precision voltage supervisor IC with integrated watchdog timer and manual reset input, designed for microprocessor power-on and brown-out monitoring in industrial embedded systems. It monitors VCC at 3.3 V (±2.5%), asserts active-low push-pull RST for ≥1.4 ms upon fault, guarantees reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V, and features 1.6 s watchdog timeout and 3 µA typical supply current.
For engineers reviewing the STM6825SWY6F datasheet, STM6825SWY6F pinout, STM6825SWY6F application, or STM6825SWY6F equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior, and validated alternative options - all grounded in ST's production-grade documentation (DocID11110 Rev 14).
Technical Context
The STM6825SWY6F implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 3.3 V threshold (±2.5% over –40 to +85 °C). Its reset logic asserts RST low on VCC dropout, MR low, or WDI timeout, with guaranteed valid output down to VCC = 1.0 V and a 1.4 ms minimum reset pulse width.
It integrates a self-clocked watchdog timer with 1.6 s timeout (typ.), cleared by any WDI edge (≥50 ns), and supports manual reset via an internal 52 kΩ pull-up MR input. The device lacks watchdog disable control pins - WDI must be left floating or tristated to disable the function.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Threshold | 3.3 V ±2.5% - ensures reliable detection of 3.3 V rail collapse across industrial temperature range |
| RST Pulse Width | 1.4 ms (typ.) - meets minimum reset hold time for ARM Cortex-M and similar MCUs |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (typ.) - provides sufficient margin to detect firmware hangs without false triggers |
| Supply Current | 3 µA (typ.) at VCC < 3.6 V - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or ultra-low-power systems |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automation environments |
| VCC Min for RST | 1.0 V - guarantees functional reset assertion during deep brown-out or slow power-down sequences |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low, push-pull - drives reset line directly without external pull-up; sinks/source up to 20 mA |
Pinout & Package
STM6825SWY6F is housed in a standard 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AB), with 1.3 mm height, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and gull-wing leads compatible with automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6 s prevents reset assertion; floating disables watchdog |
| 2 - VCC | Power supply | Monitored 3.3 V rail input; device operates from 1.0–5.5 V, but threshold is fixed at 3.3 V |
| 3 - RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low on fault, MR, or WDI timeout; holds low ≥1.4 ms after recovery |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internal 52 kΩ pull-up; debounced internally - no external RC required |
| 5 - VSS | Ground | Reference return path for comparator, watchdog, and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.3 V monitoring | ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40 to +85 °C ensures consistent brown-out detection across temperature |
| Guaranteed RST down to 1.0 V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion even during severe undervoltage events before full power collapse |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6 s timeout with edge-triggered clear eliminates need for external timing components or MCU GPIO |
| Low-quiescent-current operation | 3 µA typical ICC allows permanent supervision in energy-constrained applications like smart sensors |
| SOT23-5 footprint | Standardized 5-pin package simplifies layout, reduces board space, and supports high-volume reflow assembly |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Sensor Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing and runtime fault recovery in DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary VCC supervisor and watchdog for main ARM-based controller; asserts RST on 3.3 V rail sag or firmware lockup. Use Value: Prevents uncontrolled state transitions during brown-out; 1.4 ms RST pulse satisfies IEC 61000-4-11 immunity test requirements for reset hold time. |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered portable ultrasound sensor with sleep/wake cycles and safety-critical boot integrity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Always-on supervisor monitoring 3.3 V LDO output; MR used for user-initiated recalibration reset; WDI fed by MCU heartbeat. Use Value: 3 µA ICC extends battery life; 1.0 V RST guarantee ensures deterministic reset even during end-of-life battery discharge. |
| Smart Energy Meter | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Tamper-resistant metering unit requiring secure boot and runtime watchdog coverage under wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor: monitors 3.3 V MCU supply and feeds WDI with periodic SPI transaction pulses. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold stability over –40 to +85 °C eliminates calibration drift; SOT23-5 eases conformal coating and thermal management. |
Use Scenario: Non-safety-critical BCM sub-system (e.g., window lift control) needing robust power-on reset and software hang detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary supervisor for auxiliary microcontroller; RST tied to MCU reset pin; MR connected to service mode switch. Use Value: Push-pull RST avoids external pull-up, reducing BOM count; RoHS-compliant SOT23-5 meets automotive ELV directive requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor with watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM6823SWY6F | Same 3.3 V threshold, same SOT23-5, but RST is open-drain (not push-pull); no RST active-high output | Requires external pull-up resistor; incompatible where direct-drive reset is needed or board space is constrained | Select only if open-drain flexibility (e.g., level translation) is required and pull-up is acceptable |
| MAX6326UT29D3+T | 3.0 V threshold (±2.5%), 1.6 s watchdog, 2.5 µA ICC, SOT23-5 - identical timing but different VCC trip point | Not suitable for 3.3 V systems requiring tight 3.3 V tolerance; requires redesign of power rail monitoring strategy | Choose only when system uses 3.0 V core supply and MAX's tighter 1.5 ms RST pulse is preferred |
Compared with STM6825SWY6F, STM6823SWY6F trades push-pull drive for open-drain flexibility at the cost of added component count, while MAX6326UT29D3+T shifts the threshold to 3.0 V - making it unsuitable for 3.3 V rail supervision without circuit modification.

FAQ
Can STM6825SWY6F monitor a 5 V supply?
No - STM6825SWY6F has a fixed 3.3 V ±2.5% reset threshold and is not adjustable. While it operates with VCC up to 5.5 V, it only supervises 3.3 V rails. For 5 V supervision, ST offers STM6821SWY6F (5.0 V threshold) or STM6322SWY6F (adjustable via external resistor divider).
Is the watchdog timer enabled by default?
Yes - the watchdog is active at power-up. To disable it, WDI must be left floating or driven by a tristated output. Leaving WDI unconnected causes the internal counter to generate a low-high-low pulse every 1.6 s, effectively servicing the watchdog without MCU intervention.
What is the maximum capacitive load on the RST output?
The RST output is rated for ≤20 mA sink/source and exhibits typical rise/fall times of <100 ns into 50 pF. ST recommends limiting total load capacitance to ≤100 pF to maintain clean edges and avoid timing violations in fast-reset MCU interfaces.
Does MR require external debounce circuitry?
No - the MR input includes internal hysteresis and filtering that rejects transients <100 ns. A normally open momentary switch connected between MR and GND operates reliably without external RC networks, though a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND is recommended in electrically noisy environments.
